Coastal Erosion - the quiet crisis

[lordthorpez]

Great job! A pleasure to watch!

Use mighty power of nature

In the northwestern Australia, we have huge tides,

huge deserts, huge evaporation and huge dry rivers and lakes.

Huge 12m tidal erosion can revive old dry paleo dormant once mighty rivers, creeks and lakes,

desalinate the country and change deserts to rain forests to provide more rain across Australia

World population is growing rapidly and we need more energy, food, land and water.

im not being critical, but how is a little road falling in the ocean such a major issue

[Anonymous738]

@MrSuperDuperAnthony As he said, the crisis isn't just happening there, its happening in a lot more places, such as Shoreham by Sea, where if coastal erosion continues, millions of pounds of property damage could ensue. This place just happens to be where he lives.

Hey Walney, it's been 3 years now. I would love to see an update video from the very same spot, if you still live in the area. Have things changed any?

[WalneyCol]

Thanks for the interest, the latest video response above shows the situation as it is now.

I read an interesting interview with a sea level expert the other day who reckons it is more common that coastal erosion is caused by falling sea level, than by rising sea level.

Just thought I'd put that out there.

[carlosvgonzalez]

Don't believe in everything you hear! Be critic minded!

[sidepr]

I don't. And considering everything we hear is about rising sea level, I thought I was.

[marmalademan07]

This is my a level presentation :) :D cheers

[paljim24]

Brilliant but so very sad for your predicament. I teach coastal erosion to year 8 (age 12/13) and will definitely show this video during lessons. Praying for you mate.

[4shizzal]

Awesome vid. I'm a 4th grade teacher currently covering Weathering and Erosion. I'll be showing this to my class tomorrow

Hello Colin.Dave here.This poxy country can waist millions Iraq & Afganistan.We do have the man power to build sea defences round our country.This poxy labour run goverment does not give a toss about all the thousands of peoples lost homes on the coast.They better sort it out because it will SOON BE TOO LATE. Gordon Borrower Brown GET SOMETHING DONE ABOUT IT.Before not just the SEA TAKES OVER OUR ONCE GREAT PROUD COUNTRY.WE ARE SWAMPED WITH MORE CRAP THAN THE SEA.

[Theresnoreverse]

good on you for asking the questions mate - we are seeing a little bit of this in New Zealand as well.

[trentbren]

will probably use in an environmental science course: is that permitted?

[WalneyCol]

Yes, provided the video and the closing WalneyDog/website credits are kept intact. If you'd like a better quality/higher resolution version visit my youtube page and use the "Send Message" function to get in touch and I'll let you know where you can download it from.

[wendyhall56]

Well said Colin. I hope more people see this.

[ulverstonrant]
